Chapter 1263: Demon Patterns, Seal
"Yuan Fei, who did you come here with?" Lin Feng asked Yuan Fei. Experts from the Eight Wastelands had gathered in Snow Moon, and every faction had figures at the Venerable Lord level. Among the younger generation, even those monstrous prodigies couldn't have come alone—it was too dangerous.
"Old Ape!" Yuan Fei pointed a finger toward a big man in the distance. That man was burly, just like Yuan Fei—the demon ape clan was naturally like that.
"My old man and a bunch of old apes!"
The middle-aged man looked over and nodded at Lin Feng with a smile. Lin Feng returned the courtesy. Yuan Fei's father should be a Venerable Lord-level figure of the demon ape clan. Moreover, the people around Yuan Fei's father were all extremely sturdy; standing together, they could give off a tremendous sense of intimidation.
The lineage of the Ape Emperor had been passed down in the Eight Wastelands for who knows how many years. The demon ape clan in the desolate demon domain of the Eight Wastelands naturally wasn't weak, but compared to human Martial Emperor forces, they still seemed sparse in numbers.
"Lin Feng, if a relic really is discovered, you need to be careful. The old undying ones here are the type who'll scheme you to death without compensation. Old Ape didn't want to come, but since I wanted to come and play, they went along with it, worried I might run into danger. If a chaotic battle breaks out, you might die without even knowing who to blame it on—who would the grudge fall on?"
Yuan Fei reminded him. Although he was straightforward, he wasn't stupid at all. If a chaotic battle erupted and those strong ones wanted to scheme against you, and your elders weren't around, you'd die and no one would even be able to say who killed you.
"I'll stay far away," Lin Feng said jokingly, but he took Yuan Fei's words to heart. Even with the Skyless Sword in hand, he couldn't guarantee that someone wouldn't try to scheme against him.
"Hehe, since they all look relaxed and carefree, let's behave ourselves too." Yuan Fei sat down with Lin Feng on this small peak and closed his eyes to rest, waiting to see how long they could endure.
Lin Feng closed his eyes and quietly comprehended the demonic cultivation technique and the eighty-one sword sacred pattern diagrams. Although Lin Feng wasn't cultivating, it could still bring some inspiration to his sword dao.
Currently, his limit was fusing three types of profound meaning into a divine ability sword technique. Adding another profound meaning and perfectly integrating it was very difficult. Simply stacking profound meanings couldn't unleash much power at all. Only fused divine abilities were strong enough. If he could fuse four types of profound meaning into a divine ability, the power would multiply exponentially.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Still nothing happened. However, on the outskirts of this sealed area, many people from lower-tier forces were growing impatient, yet they couldn't enter the core region.
At this moment, within the Qi family camp, a Venerable Lord-level figure suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the Wen family. "The Wen family has prepared for so many years and even sent their clan's experts through the Void Ancient Array ahead of time. They can't be unprepared, can they? We've waited this long—shouldn't they make a move?"
From the Wen family's direction, another Venerable Lord opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as it shot toward the Qi family camp. In the past, when someone spied on the Void Ancient Array and caused its projection to appear, the Qi family had been involved. Then someone released news of the Great Emperor's relic, forcing their hand. The Wen family had no choice but to make the Void Ancient Array public. Now, the Qi family wanted to force their hand again!
"Qi family, you should have brought the Void Rending Ancient Mirror with you, right?" the Wen family Venerable Lord said coldly, directly exposing them. The Qi family Venerable Lord's expression stiffened. That old bastard had done his research well. The Void Rending Ancient Mirror—he had indeed brought it.
"The Qi family's Void Rending Ancient Mirror is a supreme sacred artifact. When imperial artifacts don't appear, the mirror dominates. Moreover, with your strength, you should be able to unleash most of the mirror's power. Tearing open this land shouldn't be a problem, should it?" the Wen family Venerable Lord continued. Countless gazes immediately turned to the Qi family. Since the Wen family had struck first, let the Qi family be the scapegoat.
"What the Wen Venerable Lord says is very true. Since the Qi family has brought the Void Rending Ancient Mirror, go ahead and act. Why hide it and keep so many people waiting?" a Sikong family Venerable Lord spoke up.
"If the Qi family is unwilling to use the Void Rending Ancient Mirror, we wouldn't mind using it for them." From among the demon domain's Demon Emperor Hall crowd, a demon venerable exuded a strong aura of arrogance and said coldly.
The Qi family members' faces stiffened. These bastards all shifted with the wind. They wouldn't let the Qi family speak. Even if they didn't want to take it out, they had to. The demon venerable from the Demon Emperor Hall was already hinting at threats.
"Please, Qi family, bring out the Void Rending Ancient Mirror!" the Wen family Venerable Lord said with a cold smile, continuing to pressure them.
"Since that's the case, everyone, please step aside!" The Qi family Venerable Lord stood up. He knew the tide was inevitable. Since everyone was watching the Qi family, he had no choice but to act.
The crowd rose one after another, sharp glints flashing in their eyes. Were they finally going to make a move?
The Qi family Venerable Lord soared into the air, appearing in the central area of the vast land. With a thought, an ancient mirror appeared in his palm. It seemed to contain surging rending power. The void in front of the mirror seemed to twist continuously, about to be torn apart.
"Buzz..." Terrifying void fluctuations spread out. The ancient mirror expanded, turning into a heavenly mirror facing downward. It seemed as if strands of void energy were being released from it, extremely terrifying.
"Go!" The Qi family Venerable Lord shouted softly. Endless void profound meaning coiled around the ancient mirror. In an instant, the enormous mirror released dazzling golden light. Terrifying beams shot out from the mirror, and the sound of space being torn apart rang out as they struck the ground.
"Chi, chi..." There was no terrifying sound of explosion. The crowd only heard the sound of space being torn. Looking at the ground illuminated by the mirror, a massive cylindrical hole appeared, deep and bottomless, probably a hundred meters deep. The diameter of this huge cylindrical hole was several dozen meters long.
"Buzz..."
Figures soared into the air. In an instant, countless people in this vast space stepped into the void and looked toward the deep hole. What kind of power was inside that made the earth so hard?
Lin Feng also stepped into the void and looked toward the deep hole. He didn't probe with his divine sense. The Qi family Venerable Lord was holding the Void Rending Ancient Mirror, tearing everything apart. Who would be asking for trouble by probing with divine sense?
"Completely dark!" Lin Feng's gaze condensed. Inside the deep earth, it seemed pitch black, and even the soil was black.
Beside Lin Feng, Yuan Fei's eyes suddenly became extremely eerie. It was as if a pair of fiery eyes shot out, looking into the deep, dark hole. Traces of patterns appeared in his pupils.
"That's... demon patterns!" The flames in Yuan Fei's eyes seemed to reflect traces of dark matter. Black patterns, deep and dark, made people's hearts tremble.
On the Void Rending Ancient Mirror, another terrifying beam shot out, about to rend the void. The earth was torn apart again, and another huge hole appeared.
The Qi family Venerable Lord frowned slightly. This land was really hard. Using the Void Rending Ancient Mirror, he could only achieve this much.
"Rise!" He shouted, and the Void Rending Ancient Mirror soared into the air, transforming into a boundless, enormous mirror curtain hanging high in the sky. Strands of spatial radiance bloomed, containing endless rending power.
"Rend!" The Qi family Venerable Lord shouted coldly. An extremely thick beam shot out from the mirror. In that moment, a hundred-meter-wide area of earth was torn apart. On the vast land, a clearly visible deep hole appeared. Everyone could see what was inside.
"What is that? Tungsten steel? Demon patterns?" The crowd's hearts trembled. At the bottom of the earth, a metallic object with a metallic luster appeared, like black armor, extremely ferocious. Even more shocking was that on this armor-like tungsten steel, intricate and complex patterns were carved, deep and dark, like demon sacred patterns.
"Rend, rend, rend..." The Qi family Venerable Lord kept sweeping the broken earth with the mirror. Terrifying beams shot out continuously. The earth crazily collapsed and turned into nothingness. Soon, the hole kept expanding, but it seemed to have no limit. By the time the Qi family Venerable Lord had broken open ten thousand meters of earth, the deep bottom was still that black metallic demon pattern.
"What is that thing? Even a Venerable Lord holding the Void Rending Ancient Mirror can't break it!" The crowd was shocked. There was no doubt—they had really discovered a relic.
Lin Feng's gaze swept over the Void Rending Ancient Mirror, a hint of wariness in his heart. A Venerable Lord wielding a supreme sacred artifact was too terrifying. If it were aimed at him, it could directly tear his body apart. In the future, when facing the Qi family, he had to be careful. Although he also had a supreme sacred artifact, he obviously couldn't unleash its terrifying power as recklessly as a Venerable Lord-level figure.
The Qi family Venerable Lord stopped his actions and put away the Void Rending Ancient Mirror. He said, "Everyone has seen how terrifying this land is. Now, should we go down and work together to break it open?"
"What the Qi Venerable Lord says is very true!" Figures immediately descended downward. They didn't need the Qi family Venerable Lord to say it—they wanted to go down and see for themselves.
"Be careful!" Yuan Fei said to Lin Feng. The two of them also descended, landing on the ground several hundred meters deep, looking at the black armor-like object on the surface.
Lin Feng crouched down. Sword qi raged, slashing at the black demon patterns. There was no reaction at all.
He reached out and touched it. The armor-like demon patterns were somewhat cold.
"What kind of metal is this? My sword can't even leave a mark, and the Void Rending Ancient Mirror couldn't shake it either!" Lin Feng looked up and asked Yuan Fei, wondering if Yuan Fei had seen it before.
But Yuan Fei clearly didn't know either, showing a confused expression. It was black, with terrifying patterns carved on it, and it seemed to be a single massive entity.
"This isn't metal—it's a seal!" At this moment, a shocking voice rang out, making everyone's hearts tremble. This tungsten steel armor-like black object was a seal?
What kind of sealing power was so terrifying?
